| Abstract | The skew of an edge-weighted rooted tree is the maximum difference between any two root-to-leaf path weights. Zero- or bounded-skew trees are needed for achieving synchronization in many applications, including network multicasting [21] and VLSI clock routing [3, 18]. In these applications edge weights represent propagation delays, and a signal generated at the root should be received by multiple recipients located at the leaves (almost) simultaneously. The objective is to find zero- or bounded-skew trees of minimum total weight, since the weight of the tree is directly proportional to the amount of resources that must be allocated to the tree. Charikar et al. [9] have recently proposed the first strongly polynomial algorithms with proven constant approximation factors, 2e ≈ 5.44 and 16.86, for finding minimum weight zero- and bounded-skew trees, respectively.In this paper we introduce a new approach to these problems, based on zero-skew “stretching” of spanning trees, and obtain algorithms with improved approximation factors of 4 and 14. For the case when tree nodes are points in the plane and edge weights are given by the rectilinear metric our algorithms find zero- and bounded-skew trees of length at most 3 and 9 times the optimum. This case is of special interest in VLSI clock routing. An important feature of our algorithms is their practical running time, which is asymptotically the same as the time needed for computing the minimum spanning tree. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
